life help: Does anyone else think that life is pointless? - Help.com

Life is what you make it, it’s only pointless if you don’t do something meaningful. Changing the world doesn’t mean doing something big, it means changing one person’s point of view or how they feel- because then you just changed somebody’s world. The world is how you percieve it, and if you change the way you percieve it, you can make life meaningful. (If that made sense…I get what I’m trying to say, but I don’t think it’s coming out right… ^-^) And, I believe that we’re living for our afterlife (in heaven or in hell) and what we do here determines what we get to do in our final destination.

I understand what you are saying, that every person has a whole world encircling them and to enhance their life is to change a world. I like that idea alot. You have taught me a lesson here thankyou, I will begin tomorrow with a new view of people.

I used to think that, until I met people who didn’t.

So I went about finding things that made me happy. Stop living the same day over and over and mix up your routine a bit. Keep learning about the world around you. We may live in a time where globalization is bringing the world closer together, but it is just as big to an individual as it was in the days when Europeans used to take ships into the unknown. You may know what a map says, but I guarantee you, until you start looking for yourself, you will never know what’s out there for you.

In a nut shell, just switch up your routine a bit. Life really isn’t as mundane as it might seems sometimes :D

I can see the point in helping someone elses life, I try to do this whenever I see someone in need. Its my own life that is pointless, It is only a nice dream thought up by people who are scared of death that we continue after life - no evidence. So if I end it now I lose nothing. I am only saying what I am thinking, I have not come to a final decision yet.

I don’t think that I am In pain, I have a good job, I love my family. I don’t have a girlfriend but I don’t think that not having one detracts from my existence. It is a logical conclusion that I am moving towards. If I have no point in living then i should end, it is not any kind of nihalistic act against myself just a logical conclusion.

Yes that Is the real reason to carry on because to end it would really hurt my family. It is a good reason, that is why I am here but is it enough, only being here because otherwise it would hurt them is really wearing me down, that is why i posted this.

Sorry for the bad english >
“Think on what the world is ” ;
The wolrds “creator” if u will is nothing more than what could and what always did exist, the third dimension. As part of the third dimension’s infinity, humans became one of the infinite combinations.

With minds to THINK and ACT.

“and what it means to you”;
Nothing at all for how i fell think and have viewed this world it is a meaningless place.

Thanks for your reply.

And i have not bassed how i think about he world on what i have read but that has had an imput. I think not just highschool will be liek this it is the whole of humman emotions. I guess a part of me has just lost them and thinks life is ok/beter without them. I saw a pic todya hanging up in my classroom it said “as long as there is a dreem there will be hope” i wish for no change for how i am i have lost hope. i dont no when it will end.

Thanks for reply agion

True =)

Bro, non of these people understand what your saying. I do. Its nut. I know what your feeling; not remotely suicidel but the thought still lingers….If I did die, who would care? Whats the point? I bet if I asked most people who were the top 5 most influential people in history they would establish a list that looked something like Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., Jesus, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson….Something along those lines. So, It think to myself, if those are the only 5 people that ever mattered, then what are any of us actually doing? What does it matter? I am going to die in 50 years and thats all there is to it.
